Notes:
1. Measured over a bandwidth of 5 Hz to 20 MHz using a 1 µH inductor.
2. Output ripple is measured at 20 MHz bandwidth using a 1.0 µF ceramic
capacitor and a 10 µF tantalum capacitor connected in parallel as close
to the output terminals as possible.
3. Transient recovery is measured to within a 200 mV error band for a 50%
load change.
4. The “Power Good” signal is optional. To include this, add a “P” to the
product number (SRS20A-12W-5.0P). If it is not included, then pin 6 is
not installed.
5. These units include a non-latching over temperature protection circuit.
If the temperature exceeds approximately 130°C at the monitored “hot
spot”, the unit will be shut down. When the temperature decreases, the
unit will automatically restart. See page 3 for temperature measurement
information.
6. These units will provide up to 150% of rated current. In the event of
an over current fault, the unit will go into hiccup mode until the fault is
removed.
7. Standard units feature an active high remote control input. See the note
and diagram at right.
8. These units do not include an internal fuse. It is recommended that an
external slow-blow fuse be used with a rating as shown in the table above.

Remote On/Off
These units include an active high
On/OFF control input. The unit is
“ON” if the input to the control pin
(pin 11) is high; or if the pin is left
open (or floating). The signal level
of the control input is referenced
to ground. A recommended drive
circuit for the control pin is shown
at left. The resistors R
1
& R
2
have
been added to help reduce pos-
sible false triggering of the control
input due to leakage currents.
Units are available with an active
low control input. With this input,
the unit will remain off if the con-
trol input remains above 2.8 VDC.
For more information on the active
low option, contact the factory.
Typical Connection
Notes:
Fuse:
SRS20A-12W
regulators do not include an internal fuse. For
safety and protection, a external slow-blow fuse should be
placed in the input (+V
IN
) line. A 25A fuse is recommended.
The unit must be connected to a low AC impedance source,
and to avoid loop stability issues, the source inductance
should also be low. To significantly reduce ripple caused by
the switching action of the POL, the
SRS20A-12W
includes
onboard filtering. However, adding input capacitors C
1
and
C
2
will further reduce ripple currents (C
1
) and high frequency
noise spikes (C
2
). These capacitors should be placed as
close to the input pins as possible (see board layout at right).
It is recommended that low ESR (<100 m ) and low ESL
ceramic capacitors be used. Recommended values are:
C

to 250

Output Trim:
Remote Sense:
See note on page 4
The remote sense helps regulate the output voltage at
the point of load by minimizing the effects of distribution
losses. The voltage between the sense pin (Pin 3) and
the point of load should not exceed 500 mV. When using
the remote sense function, the output voltage level may
rise. Care must be taken not to exceed the maximum
rated output power of the regulator. When not in use, the
remote sense pin should be tied to the output pin of the
regulator.
Output filtering is not required, but may be used to further
reduce output ripple & noise; or to adjust the transient
response time of the unit. Care must be taken not to exceed
8,000
µF,
the maximum value of output capacitance the
unit is rated for. The values given in the connection dia-
gram are typical for light filtering.

Temperature Measurement
These switching regulators may be used in a wide variety of thermal environments, but must be properly cooled to ensure
long reliable operation. The derating curves shown above are approximations of the ambient temperature and airflow
required to maintain the switching regulator temperature below its maximum rating.
Airflow should move parallel to the long axis of the unit, as shown at left. Proper cooling can be verified by measuring the
temperature at pin six of Q
1
(as shown at left). The thermocouple should be mounted approximately 0.5 in. off the unit board.
The temperature at this location should not exceed 120°C.

Output Voltage Trim
www.micropowerdirect.com
The output voltage level of the
SRS20-12W
series is adjust-
able over a wide range by the simple addition of an external
resistor. This trim resistor is connected between the circuit
common and the trim input, as shown in the diagram at left.

Suggested Board Layout

board layout for use with the
SRS20A-12W
series. A recom-

interfe
The outputs of multiple
SRS20A-12W
modules may be
controled via the sequencing feature. When not using
this feature, the S
EQ
input should be left open or tied to
V
IN
. Connecting modules (as shown above), allows users
to control the timing of the outputs of multiple modules.
For proper sequencing, the input voltage is applied to
the module. The On/Off input of each module is left
open so that the module is on by default. A minimum 10
mS delay (after the input voltage is applied) is required
before applying a voltage on the S
EQ
input. As a voltage
is applied to the S
EQ
input, the module output voltage
will track this control voltage (on a one-to-one volt basis)
until the set-point voltage level is reached.
To achieve a simultaneous shutdown of the modules,
the S
EQ
input voltage is lowered in a controlled manner.
The module output voltages will track this input below
their set-point voltages on a one-to-one basis. The input
voltage must be maintained within specified limits until
the tracking and output voltages reach ground potential.
